[BC] Re: AM daytimers

[Dan Strassberg]

Scott: That's an oversimplification that is technically incorrect in some
instances, but it'll do for everyone but engineers and extreme radio geeks
like me. However, Paul's definition doesn't work as well, because he
included in the daytimer category stations that use a nighttime power of
250W. You said less than 250W, Scott, which is why you've got it
more-or-less right. Paul said 250W or less, which is why he's got it more
wrong than right.

Paul: if you don't understand how 250W or less could be wrong when less than
250W is more-or-less right, take a look at your high-school algebra book--if
you can find it. It's the difference between less than and less than or
equal to. There are even different mathematical symbols for the two
operators. In this case, 250W or less probably includes in the daytimer
category more than 100 stations that are not daytimers. Less than 250W
correctly excludes those stations.

Paul,

   That's been always my understanding.  AM daytimers with powers under
250 watts DO NOT have "Protected Nighttime Authority", they have
"Unprotected Nighttime Authorization".  There is a difference, and this
is mention on the AM page on the FCC Media Website.



   Pre-Sunrise and Post Sunset Authorizations is a whole different
animal.  I wished that the commission would post PSRA/PSSA
authorizations in their sites.  There are times where they have to be
rerun by the commission, due to site moves, etc.



Scott

Dan:

It's not only my understanding, but thye  belief of mine and others 250W
or less at night IS a daytimer, partly because thats what stations were
given years ago.. less then 250W
